Strong and Great Value!
Works great, dissolved the dead skin. I have VERY tough skin and am able to use it straight. This is always advised against. Wonderful product. Great value for the money. Saves me on professional services.

Tartness for my carrot cake brown ale
I needed this to add tartness to a carrot cake brown ale I made. I added different amounts with a dropper to a few glasses of another beer that was a similar brown ale. Tried them all, picked the one that was the tart one, but not sour. Did the math, then added the right amount to the keg before adding the beer. Turned out perfect.

Must dilute for skincare use
I dilute this to 10% with night cream to apply before bedtime. I wouldn't suggest this if you have sensitive skin. It exfoliates the skin causing a gentle peel. Unless you are experienced with chemistry, I would not recommend concocting the potion.

Turn Any Beer Into a Sour
I just got done brewing a wheat beer on Lallemand's WildBrew Philly Sour yeast, which is a novel yeast strain that can produce lactic acid, resulting in a sour beer. It worked out great once before, but this time, I got no lactic acid (most likely, I was fermenting at too low a temperature for good acid production). A little searching led me here. I dumped the contents of this 4oz bottle directly into my 5 gallon keg of wheat beer, sealed it up and pressurized, then gently rolled the keg on the floor to get it mixed in. The final result: Not as nuanced and well-incorporated a sour flavor as I got from my first experience with WildBrew yeast, but every bit as sour. Perfect amount for a batch this size to add a very bright, tart, acidic layer on top of your beer.

Good stuff
Love this. I dilute with water and leave on face for 5 min. Some may need less time. Wash well and I apply cream after. I try and do once a week when I remember.

WORK, I used it pure directly on hands sunspot with a cotton swabs and it work well, 5 minutes and wash, in 6 session (1 every 2 day) sunspot was already very light. Seem to be recommended to dilute at 10%-15% on large skin surface, can be very hard for the skin at current concentration.

Poor packaging, bottle leaked and arrived empty. That's not great for people trying to deliver the product since its a pretty strong acid. 2 stars because it was easy to get a refund.

I disliked that it took forever to come and it came with a crack on the lid causing a leak around it. Did not work for what it was needed for.
